allows a human being to conclude that bits they transmit in the clear from their devices while physically out on the public sidewalk using a protocol that by design and by physical necessity allows and requires uniquely identifying the transmission source...should somehow be private?
Get over it tinfoil hatters, things that happen in public are public for all to see. If you want complete privacy, then conduct your business behind closed doors, but make sure you get some trusted body doubles to walk around elsewhere in plain view so that The Man doesn't can't know for sure who it is that goes into or out of said doors.
it'll probably taste like shit, so only if there's no real stuff around. It's unscientific, but fresh tomatoes from my own plants taste better than even 'local' farmers market stuff, free range eggs taste better than factory farm stuff, and my assumption is that the large scale fabrication of lab grown meat will be driven by cost and safety (in some order of precedence), not by taste.
Ooh, ooh. We can give the cops giant butterfly nets!
Come on, now. Surely you recognize the fact that almost all of these unfortunate incidents are precipitated by human (mis) behavior, usually before the encounters begin at the point where the police are brought in. If people didn't behave badly, we wouldn't have any police shootings not because the cops would be all smiles and sunshine but because there wouldn't be a need for cops at all. That's not the world as it is or can be.
Yeah, but apps will magically obviate the need for training in de-escalation techniques because instead of talking to each other face-to-face, they'll be talking to each other from twenty feet away.
Get over yourselves, techbros, this is not a software problem.
If. If the driver has an app. If the driver's phone is turned on. If the cop has the app. If they're compatible. If they get reception. If the battery doesn't die in the middle of it. Too many ifs make for more tension, not less. This is not a technological problem. It's a behavioral problem. Cops need to behave. Civilians with loaded guns on their hips need to behave.
Non-kinetic solutions will not solve kinetic problems. How's about we all just take a step back and count to five before we make any sudden motions, literal or metaphorical.
this really does feel forced and pointless. Not the fact that they're making Sulu gay this go-around. The fact that they're playing it up as some sort of accomplishment. Battlestar Galactica and Caprica were probably the best example of how to do it right: characters (without background baggage) had their genders and sexual orientations set every which way with ABSOLUTELY NO COMMENTARY ABOUT IT, in universe or out. If the message is supposed to be "you are expected to love your brother human beings, no matter their stripes," that's what does it. Changing an established character's sexual orientation just because you can just doesn't do that.
And a hundred for the back, and a hundredish for a set of pads, and a couple hundred for labor, and rotate the tires and change the oil while he's got my car for the day. So yeah. Maybe it wasn't 700 but it was a sizeable chunk of a thousand.
It wasn't a dealer, but it was all four. I let it go for a whole lot longer than I should have. I may be off on the 700 figure, or I may have had him do something else on top of it while he had the car, it was a while ago and I don't remember. And yeah, labor was a little more than half the bill. Price of renting instead of having a house like a normal person. Oh well.
I don't feel like doing my own maintenance (lazy) and more importantly rent and don't have a place to do it if I wanted to. Whatever. I like my mechanic. He can make a few hundred off of me every couple of years.
Fuel injector cleaning isn't a scam. Reason I do it every two years I had an MIL alarm from clogged fuel injectors at the 2.5 year mark when the car was new. I've been putting the same gas into it since, so I get it cleaned every two years.
Plenty of people in cities also have bed bugs and other infestations. Call me a hypochondriac but I am proud adherent of the bus pants methodology of utilizing public transportation when I don't drive.
Domestic cars are fine. Except for Chryslers, that is. My 07 Chevy (built in Kansas City) has 130k+ miles on it and runs fine. Maintenance costs (other than oil changes and tires) average out more than a few hundred per year. Only one thing broken so far (turn signal lever, at the 120k mark, $60 parts, $100 labor because I'm lazy).
Um, no. Unless your car is a complete shitbox to start with, or you drive ~100 miles per day every day, keeping it for 10-15 years will not cost you more than replacing it every six years. Depreciation is an accounting trick that only really works in aggregate. If your car is still running in six years time, keep it. You will save the cost of a new car. The fact that yours is worth zero on paper means absolutely nothing if it still works the way it's supposed to.
I have an 07 Chevy. The biggest expense I've had on my car was when it got hit by a forklift while parked. That was 3k in body work covered by insurance. The next biggest expense was about 700 to replace the brake disks because I let the brake pads wear down to the metal. Oops; everyone has to learn somehow to replace their brake pads regularly
Other than that, new brake pads and fuel injector cleaning every two years (200 a pop). New spark plugs every four years. New tires every ~3-4 years depending on mileage (again, 300-400 depending on tires). New battery and timing belt at six or seven years.(500-600, I don't recall). Oil changes every three months ($30). All of those are recurring costs no matter whether your car just came off the line or is ten years old.
And lastly it goes without saying that even if you do make mid six figures, a 25k car gets you to work on time just as well as a 50k car. There's not even that much difference in the bells and whistles these days.

that I'm sure Microsoft would love to sign /sarc. But hey...who cares about such things with hobbyist OS's like Microsoft anyway?
Nice try. I'm not telling.
real work. But for some reason, I should want to use their libraries on a system that actually is already useful for real work?
Really must be something in the water. Gnome3, Wayland, systemd, Trump, and Microsoft on Linux?

You mean the ones with oil and numbered bank accounts to pay for it all? OK. I've looked. I prefer to work for a living.

Lemme guess: you're one of those people that thinks it's perfectly OK to ride a bike in a serpentine across multiple lanes of traffic at rush hour.

You also have a hard time understanding the technique of mocking one stupid decision by putting it in the same bin with another stupid decision.

What kind of car and what do you use it for? And what's breaking, essential stuff or bells and whistles?

Learn the word 'no' and employ it with abandon.
dividing 100% into multiple parts and adding them together gives you back no more than 100%. Film at 11.
What's in the water? Have people really been conditioned to close their ears so much that they can't believe they need to pay more?
You other two options are "damn the rules and do as I say" and "damn you all and do as I say."
